A casual handwritten print with tall, slender proportions and a lively, uneven rhythm. Strokes are mostly monoline with slight pressure modulation, producing occasional thicker terminals and subtle wobble along curves. Forms are simplified and open, with irregular counters and gently shifting baselines that emphasize a drawn-by-hand feel. Capitals are notably taller and more expressive than the lowercase, and overall spacing is loose and variable, contributing to a spontaneous texture in text.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where a handmade voice is desired, such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, greeting cards, and social media graphics. It can also work for brief captions or pull quotes when set with generous leading to accommodate the tall ascenders and lively baseline.
The font feels informal and personable, with a quirky, slightly offbeat charm. Its narrow, airy letterforms and flicked terminals give it an energetic, conversational tone that reads like quick marker or pen lettering.
Designed to capture an authentic, quickly written print style with expressive capitals and a light, airy presence. The emphasis appears to be on personality and spontaneity over strict regularity, creating a distinctive handmade texture in words.
Ascenders are prominent and the x-height is quite small, so mixed-case text tends to show strong vertical contrast between lowercase and capitals. Numerals share the same narrow, handwritten character, with simple shapes and light, tapering ends that keep the overall color bright and uncluttered.
